House of the Day: 29 South Elliott Place
As the new listing for this brownstone at 29 South Elliott Place freely admits, there’s plenty of cosmetic work that needs doing.

As the new listing for this brownstone at 29 South Elliott Place freely admits, there’s plenty of cosmetic work that needs doing. The four-story house, however, does have nice bones and happens to be located on a park block on one of Fort Greene’s most picturesque streets. It’s currently configured as an owner’s triplex over a ground-floor rental, arguably the most desirable set-up. The asking price is $1,750,000. Does that seem about right to you?

I have seen the apartment and yard. The apartment is bright and really kind of charming. The yard is really great…complete with a fish pond and well thoughtout garden.
floatingworld – did u see the house/yard? what is current rent$?
The rental is kind’a dumpy and should be renovated/restored soon, the curent rent is lower than market rate. The exterior brownstone and cast iron all need to be redone ($70,000 – $100,000 maybe). The MEP all needs to be looked at and refurbished soon. The yard need a slash and burn farmer with cattle to tame it. I don’t love Brooklyn Tech as a building, but the short walk to BAM, the LIRR and subway make this a great location.
The bottom floor is a bit wonky as a rental, but this house would be pretty perfect for 2 parents and 2 kids in the triplex and the garden floor is perfect for one set of aging parents (I’m very old-fashioned).
In that scenario, the lack of bath on the parlor floor is disappointing but you could probably squeeze in a half without too much trouble.
$1-1.2MM doesn’t seem to crazy.
haha – fair enough dave.
Broker babble to the max on this listing.
This house is “truly an original”
hmm – that house next door looks pretty damn similar.
“It’s currently configured as an owner’s triplex over a ground-floor rental, arguably the most desirable set-up.”
I’d say owning the whole house was the most desirable, as in “I wish I could pay cash for this baby and not have a mortgage that required me to rent out the garden unit.” Perhaps it’s more accurate to say: triplex + garden rental is the most practical.
